Anna Wile and Ric'Keya White fly to a photo finish to go 1-2 in the 60mH
It was another stellar weekend for Anna Wile (Ohio Speed Academy TFC 2026) and Ric'Keya White (New Albany 2026) as they both traveled up to the University of Michigan High School Showcase to compete in the 60mH against each other. Both are seniors this year and have been dominant in the hurdle and sprint events over these last four years. They have competed against each other multiple times and went 1-2 last year at the indoor state meet in the 60mH, where White beat out Wile by less than 0.1 of a second.
This past weekend, things were way closer. They both finished at 8.45 seconds. When taken to the next decimal, Wile ended up getting the victory. These landed at the OH #8 and OH #9 spots. It is safe to say that they will be the ones to watch this season.
Just 15 minutes earlier, White brought back a new OH #1 time in the 60m dash with a 7.47, also a US #15 mark. This short turnover is common for her as she has competed in both of these events at multiple state meets.
Wile went 25.10 in the 200m dash to set herself a new personal-best and claimed the OH #5 spot. It is also worth mentioning that she still holds the 400m OH #1 mark with a time of 55.69 that was set in December.

Celia Schulte now holds four OH #1 marks
Celia Schulte (Hilliard Davidson 2026) has claimed the board on the 800m, 1000m, 1600m and 1 mile runs. This is currently the highest amount of OH #1 marks that anyone this year has so far. All eyes from this past weekend were on the 1000m at The VA Showcase. She claimed a third place finish with a time of 2:48.48, also good enough for a US #7 mark.
The Furman commit has also ran OH #1 marks in the 800m with a 2:10.79, a 1 mile in 4:58.04, clocking a 4:56.40 for the en route 1600m.
Can anyone catch Latrell Hughes in the 800m?
His 1:53.02 mark from this past weekend set the tone and will make it tougher for anyone to do so. Latrell Hughes (Lexington 2026) put himself in a competitive field at the University of Michigan High School Showcase and never looked back, hitting a US #7 mark in the process. He was able to outkick Wendell Childs Jr (Str8 Smokin 2027), a Michigan native who ran 1:53.21. This is Hughes' first ever indoor season competing, as he has made a massive leap forward over this past year.
After the outdoor season last year, people realized how good Hughes could really be. As if his 800m time of 1:51.00 and first place finish at the OHSAA Division 1 State Championships was not enough, he shattered that mark with his 1:48.46 performance at New Balance Nationals Outdoor to get 5th in the nation.

Corey Davis vaults to new heights
It's safe to say that Corey Davis (Chesapeake 2026) is walking away feeling pretty stoked about his pole vault performance this past weekend. He was able to vault 16-4 for a huge personal best at the Ohio State High School Qualifier #1, an OH #1 and US #11 mark. Looking back through the years, he has had a gradual progression and gotten better nearly every season he has competed. This year is already looking to be the best one yet.
Last outdoor season, he finished 10th at the OHSAA Division 3 State Championships with a mark of 14-6. This indoor season, he has competed in six meets with all of those performances being above his vault from the state meet last season. He is someone worth keeping an eye on as he chips away at even bigger goals.
